Who fires the shots which are 81 often
heard in Springfield after night In almost
any neighborhood in this city several shots
can be heard in the course of an evening.
Are they fired at rats. or eats. or dogs, or
at human beings? Are the persons who do
the shooting aware that they are violating
a city law for which they could be arrested
and fined? |, awakens the curiosity in a
powerful degree to hear a pistol shot ring
out on the night air One cannot help
wondering whether another tragedy has
been added to the local tales of horror. or
whether only another unfortunate bull pup
has bitten the dust.

Our old friend George, at the Quarry, got
a pair of shoes on the Christmas tree.
1 attended all the shooting matches on
Christmas day and never hit but one turkey,
and that was at my wife's house, and you
bet l knocked the stuffin' out of that one.
The shaft engine room is provided with a
mammoth steam heater made and put up by
the machinist, VIM. Ameluug, so it makes
the room quite warm. 1 suppose the steam
used for this will be the exhaust from the
engine.
Pay day, as usual, had its allowance Of
scrapping, although the Knob was never
more quiet. l think the city council was
little disappointed, as they had two of the
largest men here appointed on the police
force.
Nobody now wants the once coveted job of
straw boss. The red and blue tickets, one
of which have to accompany each car, won't
lie.
The mines are in prosperous condition,
and it is expected it will go out of the hands
of the Receiver sometime this month.

Christmas among the colored people was
enjoyed in the various ways that the Amer
lead citizens generally enjoy such occasions.
On Christmas eve there was Christmas tree
entertainment at the Methodist church,
which was enjoyed by all. There was about
120 presents on the tree, ranging in value
from five cents to five dollars. At the Iron
ton House hall there were several dances
given and everybody enjoyed the Holidays
in their own way, and the way of some, 1t
must be said, was not a good way, for they

Among the many visitors during the week

The old maid seems to think Uncle Pete is

and sound. Dime gone! The Ironton BOYS
got most the turkeys.
And it came to pass on a certain day, even
two days before New Years Day, that there
came great sleet and rain storm, and it did

lived 4 widow women, with four half naked
children, and he said unto her, have an or

So he, therefore, laid hold of what little
plumber there was and did cast it out into
place called street, and when all things were
east out, be did take a hammer and nails and
did nail up all the windows and doors from
the inside, and did crawl out at the key hole.

And it also came to pass on the same day,
about the third hour, that their came
along on this same place called street, a good
man called Sam Jones, and when he saw the
naked cast out, he had compassion on them,

gave them bread to eat and warm clothes to |
cover them and good fire to sit by until
they could find a shelter to cover them.

Holidays at GranlteyilIe.

Thinking that some of your many readers
might be interested, and might like to hear
how we got over the holidays, I will endeayor
to give them some idea as to how we en-
joyed ourselves up here: About three weeks
ago bills were posted in the most conspicu-
Gus places, calling our attention to the fact
that there was going to be grand concert
and ball, given under the auspices of the
Knights of Labor, L. A. 6722, of Graniteville,
and it was reported THAT the X. of L. boys
intended to decorateahe room (Workmen's
Hall) in style that would take the shine out
of anything that ever was attempted in that
neighboring towns) and must say they sue
ceeded. Promptly at : P. NJ. the doors were
thrown open, and the good people of Gran
lteville Immediately began to assemble, and
at the time announced for the fun to begin,
1:30, it was almost impossible to get standing
room. 1t is beyond my power to describe
the hall just as it was, so as to give a fair
idea of its appearance, and yet will try and
give you an outline of it: AT the head of the
hall and just at the stage, three arches had
been erected out of flags and eyergreens; at
the centre was large arch formed by two
large flags, one on either side, festooned, and
over head smaller flags and evergreens
charmingly confused. Over the arch was a
large oil painting of the Father of Our Coun-
try, George Washington, and immediately
below the painting were the letters, ''K. of
L., l.. A. 6122." At both sides of the big
arch were two smaller ones, made in the
same manner, and surmounted by pictures.
The ceiling and sides of the hall were also
finely decorated with flags and bunting, pro-
fusely interspersed with wreaths Of eyer
greens, while baskets of eNergreens, small
flags, ETC., were suspended from the chander
liers. On one of the black hOaris at the RIGHT

of the hall was painted the motto, defence
but not Defiance" Taking it altogether, it
beat anything ever seen at the Quarry, if not
am not a critic, but my opinion is that it was
fine.
Precisely at $50 the fun it did begin, but
as 1 did not keep any notes l cannot give you
the songs and pieces in regular order. Grand
opening, by quartette from G. c. Band
Messrs. Steward, Taylor, and John and Jas.
Phillips. Solos from Messrs. Rob't w Dyer,
7. j. Dyer, VIM. Murray, T. Corcoran, SIM
Buchanan, of Ironton, Levi kness, Joseph
Newall and Joseph J. Dyer-some OF the
songs sentimental and some comic-were all
very we'll rendered. Mr.. Gilbert Phillips
and Mrs. A. Pickard sang the beautiful Duet,
"Gipsy Countess" Messrs. John c. Murray
and Alex Petrie rendered The dialogue,
"Lochiels Warming" in very able manner,
as was the recitation, ''Mony Makes Advice
to his Son. by A. Petrie. MIR. Matthew
Dovle must be mentioned for the able man
ner in which he played two very fine cornet
solos The solo on the English concertina,
by Mr.. James SINNERS, was simply immense.
Messrs. James Phillips and joseph Newall
sang the Duet from Pinafore, "The Merry,
Merry Maiden and the Tar" A quartette
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Dyer and
Mr.. and Mrs. c. B. Reno, gave couple of
very nice selections in very nice manner, as
was the Duet, "Blue Violets," by Mrs. A.
Pickard and Mrs. C. B. Reno. Miss Bella
Phillips presided at the piano, and contri-
buted great to the success. At about 1880
preparations were made for dancing, which
was continued until u, when the Supper
March was called and the merry party prom |
enaded to the music of the Graniteyille string |
band over to the Graniteville Hotel, where |
Mrs. Mason had prepared fine collation. to
which one hundred and seyenty-five sat |
down. After supper, dancing recommended
and was kept up until five O'Clock in the
when, the programmes being |
danced out, and the dancers being tired out,
they concluded to go home, well pleased,
and voting it the best time that had been
here for years. After the crowd had dis
persed, our friend, Mr.. 7. c., took the floor
and gave us three or four good songs in his
own mastery style, which is hard to beat.

On Sunday morning about O'Clock, q
slight fire occurred in the frame building
attached to the Arcadia College. During
mass the chimney having caught fire, the
woodwork near it was scorched and the
dense smoke caused considerable excitement
among the Sisters on their return from the
chapel. Thinking the house on fire, one of
the Sisters (sister Phillippine) ventured on
the roof, and it being covered with ice, she,
unfortunately, slipped and fell from height
OF about thirty feet Injuring her spine. I'm
